We present the reports of three renal leiomyomas diagnosed and treated at our institution during the past 10 years. On the basis of our experience, preoperative diagnosis may be possible through image-guided percutaneous biopsy, and conservative treatment with either expectant management or minimally invasive nephron-sparing surgery should always be considered.

Since its initial description, this minimally invasive procedure has evolved into a therapeutic operation that adheres to established strict oncologic principles. A modified template dissection that fully duplicates the open technique is now routinely performed at our institution. We describe and show in the accompanying video

This study describes the design and preliminary in vivo testing of ...
